1.3. OUTCOMES<br />

OUTCOME 1<br />

<strong>LGCDP</strong> Outcome 1: Citizens and Communities engaged actively with Local<br />

Governments and hold them accountable<br />

Analysis of Outcome formulation:<br />

• The outcome contains two separate but related elements: a) engagement with<br />

local governments, and b) holding local governments accountable.<br />

• Although the outcome refers to both citizens as well as communities, the programme<br />

implies that in many cases, citizens will engage with local governments through<br />

community organizations.<br />

• Although not specifically mentioned in the outcome formulation, the logic of <strong>LGCDP</strong><br />

implies a particular emphasis on engaging those citizens who have previously not<br />

been involved in community organizations and in local government. Many (but not<br />

all) of these citizens will be members of a marginalized group and/or women.<br />

• Communities broadly refers to permanent and temporary communities and to<br />

formal as well as informal communities.<br />

• “Engaged” refers to an involvement during planning, decision-making,<br />

implementation and monitoring of local government activities. It refers to a<br />

participatory approach and should result in a high degree of ownership.<br />

• Local governments refer to District Development Committees (DDCs), Village<br />

Development Committees (VDC) and Municipalities.<br />

• Holding local governments accountable includes two key elements: a) being aware<br />

and understanding what local government can/should do, b) transparency by being<br />

able to ask questions to local governments on financial and other issues.<br />
